Both Muenster and Chico just can't seem to miss. The Hornets have been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 9.2 hits per game.

Muenster took their win against Chico in their previous matchup two weeks ago by a conclusive 13-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Hornets since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
